Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 9.25% yield at 217 E Spring St, Lafayette, LA, 70506 in Lafayette is solid, but the $719/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $172/mo at $160,000. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $44,205 by year five, and $1,474/yr in loan paydown builds equity.
